Re: Help with Starwoods Timeshare. New to this site (by Tracey S.):
You do not get access to hotel points conversions when you buy resale. The exchange rate isn't very good anyway. You would need to be paying an extra $20,000+ in order to convert your 7 night stay in a 2 br resort into something like 4-5 nights in a hotel,
The terms high, med and low are Redweek terms and really mean nothing. The seasons are Platinum plus, Gold plus and Gold. Someone might call Gold plus medium and someone else might be calling Gold medium. You need to contact the seller to see what season they are actually selling.
WKR is one of only a handful of resorts in the Vistana system that retains the use of StarOptions even with resale. An Annual 2 BR platinum plus is considered one of the best units to own. They go for upward of $15,000-$18,000 resale. If you are looking at a lower season you may want to consider a lower priced mandatory Orlando Bella or Key West.
